Pressure Injury

The sinus tract of the ischial tuberosity is often caused by pressure injury. It has the characteristics of difficult treatment and high cost, which increases the anxiety of patients and reduces the quality of life of patients. This case report is to describe an effective method to treat sinus wound at the ischial tuberosity. A 53-year-old male suffered pressure ulcer with sinus wound at the left ischial tuberosity due to inadequate walking and sedentary activity. On the basis of pressure relief and immobilization, the patient was treated with CO2 laser debridement and negative pressure wound therapy under endoscope support 3 times, the deep of the sinus wound was completely closed, and then the residual superficial wound was treated by skin grafting. Follow-up of 1 year after healing showed no recurrence of wound.

Pressure Injury

Symptom or palliative management for wound care has commonly been reported in the literature as being focused on end-of-life care with less emphasis on being an effective supportive option for any patient with a wound in whom symptom management is indicated. This case report describes a frail older patient with a hard-to-heal pressure injury and multiple comorbidities to highlight palliative symptom management as a viable option to enhance patient comfort. Wound care providers may consider a palliative approach for hard-to-heal wound management that incorporates the whole patient, family and/or caregiver when faced with management of a frail older adult with a hard-to-heal wound to enhance the relief of suffering and improve quality of life. All procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and the appropriate institutional committee has approved them.

BACKGROUND: A small body of evidence suggests medical cannabis may facilitate wound healing, but the exact mechanism of this effect is unclear. PURPOSE: This case report describes a patient with a pressure injury (PI) who received cannabis oil treatment for pain management and sleep improvement. METHODS: A 37-year-old woman with multiminicore disease, scoliosis, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, and epilepsy presented to the Neurology Centre of Toronto with chronic pain and sleep disturbance, including difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. She also had a 5-year history of a PI between her right iliac crest and right rib cage that had progressively worsened. The patient received a medical cannabis oil protocol that used a combination of cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol. RESULTS: Cannabis oil was effective in treating pain and sleep difficulties. Unexpectedly, during the first 2 weeks of treatment, the PI started to heal and was almost completely closed at the 2-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: Although it is unknown if the observed healing of this refractory PI was indirectly or directly related to the cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol treatment, the potential relationships among pain, sleep disturbance, cannabis treatment, and healing should be explored.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
